Closing a browser window from a toolbar

[captainm1uk]

Hi I have a toolbar with several button on it. One of them being Close. I want to close the browser window but it doesn't work.

In the button I have the handler: closeHandler and the actual function I am using window.close()
When the button is clicked, nothing happens.

does window.close work with ext or is it something else

Thanks

There are restrictions (browser settings) in effect these days that prevent that from happening.

Sometimes you can coerce by setting window.opener to an object, and try self.close().

Not easy

Thanks for that but tried it already
function closeHandler() {
self.close();
}

Just an update

window.close() & self.close() work when the form is in read mode but not in edit mode ???

Are we talking about the Browser.window.close, or
Ext.Window.close ??

Browser.window.close
